> 24 hourSetting this up as a router with OPNsense and AT&T Fiber internet. I did not know this until after but there is a compatibility issue with the Intel I225-V nic and one of the gateways that AT&T Fiber uses for GPON/ONT setups (Pace 5268AC). It will not negotiate at all and is essentially dead. This can be worked around by placing a switch between the gateway and this device.

> 24 hourPurchased for use with pfsense. In reply to the single three star review saying you cant install pfsense: The current 2.6 Community Edition (CE) does not support the new intel i226 NIC used in this box, however the latest version of pfsense+ does and can be upgraded to for free from the community edition. Its a bit of a pain, but youll need a USB NIC to act as a temporary WAN to allow 2.6 to fully boot, then upgrade to pfsense+ at which time the internal i226 NIC will be recognized and work as expected.

> 24 hourThis system works perfectly for pfSense, and for much less money than NetGate charges for similar performance. I do wish there was a public page somewhere that lists firmware updates for this, but I cant find one.

> 24 hourI have been running a QOTOM-Q355G4 24/7x365 as my OPNsense router since 2017 and it has never gone down. Thats going to be a hard act to follow, but its getting old so I used 2.5Gbe as an excuse to upgrade to this box.

> 24 hourBought this box for our lab to further test PFSense. The 2.5gig Ethernet ports worked as expected with PFSense 2.6.0CE. Had this running in a lab environment for about a week and so far, its been flawless. My unit only came with 4gig instead of 8, but a quick chat with the seller resolved the issue completely. Looks like a great value if you are looking for an inexpensive way to run PFSense.
